Not gonna be back to the house until later this afternoon, but will check static pressures later. The clutch is most definitely spinning, and the gauges are definitely closed off

The front of a VD compressor always spins with or without a/ c on. It's not a mg clutch setup. The compressor is run varying amounts by a solenoid in the compressor. Check pressure with engine off and then with engine running with ac turned on. If the pressure is the same I would want to make certain that the solenoid is getting the signal when a/c is turned on. Being able to read HVAC or PCM data would be beneficial. If it's not getting the signal then compressor failure is ruled out. If it is getting the signal and the pressures are still equal compressor is bad.
I don not replace just the solenoid in these systems. I put a new compressor with solenoid. I hope this helps you.
